Champagne is generally associated with feelings of euphoric excess and the special occasions that prompt them -- New Year's Eve celebrations, weddings, birthdays, promotions. Even if you're in the mood to splurge, a large crowd or a tight budget can prompt the pursuit of cheap Champagne. From France to Spain, Italy, and California, there's enough excellent bubbly to go around for $10 or less. The challenge lies in knowing what you're buying. We considered online reviews and ratings from a variety of sources and consulted a wine expert to come up with our top picks.

If you think cheap white wine is only for grandma's spritzer, think again. There's a white wine -- costing no more than $10 to satisfy almost anyone's palate. Inexpensive white wines can complement a range of foods, brighten up a lazy summer afternoon, and make an excellent substitute for pre-dinner cocktails. White wines typically present fruity and/or floral flavors and aromas, sometimes offer a bit of spice and earthiness, and range in sugar content from bone dry to dessert-level sweet. We've made top picks based on tastings, ratings, reviews, and awards, on top of expert advice, and suspect wine drinkers will find at least one selection to suit both their sipping preferences and their budget.

Who needs a premium red wine when a thoroughly respectable bottle costs $10 or less? Frugal quaffers who know even a little bit about wine and aren't afraid to go with what they like will find many such bottles. There are hundreds of cheap red wines out there -- some barely worth the few dollars you'd pay but many worth drinking. With so many styles, grape varieties, producers, and labels to choose among, shopping can be a challenge. To guide wine drinkers through the thicket, we've made top picks based on tastings, ratings, reviews, awards, and expert advice. We've also selected a wide array of other inexpensive red wines fit to serve with a meal, bring to a party, or sip over the course of a quiet evening.

Baby Trend Expedition Double Jogging Stroller Review

This two-seater jogging stroller with a lockable front swivel wheel tracks reasonably well with parents. Most Baby Trend Double Expedition reviews at Amazon assert that it meets the needs of walkers and joggers: easy to steer, turns tight corners, rolls smoothly over different surfaces, good fit for kids. Others complain that it pulls off center when the front wheel is locked and wobbles wildly when the wheel is unlocked. We also read a few Baby Trend Double Expedition reviews griping about specs that say the two children should be close to equal weight, although one post at Target says an infant and a 3-year-old didn't upset the balance. For the most part, Baby Trend Double Expedition reviews report this stroller fits in car trunks and through doorways. Although some parents lament the lack of a child tray, at least one appreciates that its absence means more leg room for older children..

The Baby Trend Double Expedition (starting at $188, Amazon) features a steel frame and weighs 32.5 pounds. It holds babies from 6 months and children weighing up to 50 pounds each and standing 42 inches tall. It boasts a 12-inch front wheel and 16-inch rear wheels, all of which can be released quickly for storage or transport. It also comes with a rear parking break, wrist strap, 5-point harness system, independently reclining seats, ratcheting sun canopy, parent tray, and under-seat basket.

Where to buy

Some users report problems with the front wheel, but their experience is not universal. Parents in the market for a budget-priced double stroller might give this model a look. That said, our top pick for a double jogging stroller beats this one on price and performance.
